Title: Decoding Human Emotions: From Psychological Theories to Multimodal NLP Models Abstract: Understanding and modeling human emotions is essential for natural language processing (NLP) applications, from conversational AI to mental health assessment.…

We will feature a team of speakers from Blank Slate Technologies, a startup investigating issues related to continual learning and catastrophic forgetting in human operatives on mission-critical tasks. The team will be led by CEO Matt Trevithick. The title of the talk is the following: Quantifying Cognitive Performance in the Wild: Measurement, Modeling, and Operational Outcomes

Hubert Banville, Meta Title: A foundation model of vision, audition, and language for in-silico neuroscience Abstract: Cognitive neuroscience is fragmented into specialized models, each tailored to specific experimental paradigms, hence preventing a unified model of cognition in the human brain. Here, we introduce TRIBE v2, a tri-modal (video, audio and language) foundation model capable of…
